American tourist punched armed police at Buckingham Palace

An American tourist assaulted two armed police officers outside Buckingham Palace after asking them if they knew any jokes, a court has heard. Ryan Robinson, 36, of Hawaii, punched Ben Collins in the face at least four times and tried to grab his Taser electrical weapon on Wednesday evening. When Simon Leckie tried to intervene, shouting “armed police, stand still” and pointing his weapon at Robinson, he knocked him to the ground.
